I was so disappointed in this movie. The trailer made it seem to be a light family comedy, but the language was vulgar and it was very depressing, especially when the father learned too late that his children lied to him about another son who died in a Mexican prison after ingesting drugs to avoid being caught with them. There are also veiled references to lesbianism, and one daughter is shown at the end of the movie celebrating Christmas with her dad, siblings, daughter and female partner. All in all, there was nothing redeeming about this movie in my book. I probably won't ever see it again.

Real people, real lives.
This is a movie about a man and his grown children. They have good will toward each other, but also hurts to resolve, and a secret to hide. It's the themes of the movie that are mature, rather than what is actually shown on-screen. Drugs, death, bearing and raising a child outside of marriage, homosexuality, illness, deceit. These are realities that kids are going to become aware of as they grow older. This story about ordinary people living ordinary (not picture-perfect) lives treats the issues without sensationalism, and tells us the truth: Parents can't force their kids into a mold; and kids can't force themselves into their parents' mold. But they can choose to love each other and accept each other in the midst of everything. This one is worth watching.
